Carlson - Cod Liver Oil, 1100 mg Omega-3s, Wild-Caught Norwegian Arctic Cod-Liver Oil, Sustainably Sourced Nordic Fish Oil Liquid, Unflavored, 500 ml (16.9 Fl Oz)

I tried Carlson's Fish Oil after hearing it praised as a quality source of Omega 3s by a couple of health gurus on YouTube. I have included Omega 3s in my health care routine for well over 20 years. I used to take fish oil softgels, and then moved to krill oil softgels and vegan/algae softgels. These were always 'fine' to take. Neutral taste, sometimes a bit large to swallow. When I tasted the Carlson's I was surprised that it was actually pleasant to take! It is smooth, with a very mild lemony taste - it smells, tastes, and feels pure and clean. Having it chilled due to refrigerator storage enhances the pleasurable experience.Only once during the last 20 years have I experienced omega 3 products going bad, but it is an experience I prefer never to have again! I feel safer with Carlson's as a source -- I expect any changes would be easier to detect in a liquid than in softgels, and the risk of going bad should be minimized by keeping the bottle refrigerated.While I have grown accustomed to the high costs of some Omega 3 products, I did feel a bit of sticker shock when I saw the cost of this bottle of Carlson's. I decided to do a mathematical comparison. Not all the products I looked at reported total mgs of Omega 3s, but they did report total mgs per serving of EPA, DHA, and some included DPA. I calculated the cost per teaspoon of Carlson's and the cost per softgel for the others (from Subscribe & Save prices), then divided that amount by the total mg of (EPA + DHA + DPA) reported to be available in a softgel or teaspoon, to obtain the cost for 1 mg of the healthful components I was seeking. I looked at three brands of Krill Oil because I had previously compared those three and had the data. The costs were:$0.00311 for 1 mg of EPA/DHA --------- Krill Oil (Brand 1) - also reports phospholipids & aztaxanthin$0.00270 for 1 mg of EPA/DHA --------- Krill Oil (Brand 2) - also reports choline, phospholipids & aztaxanthin$0.00230 for 1 mg of EPA/DHA --------- Krill Oil (Brand 3) - also reports phospholipids & aztaxanthin$0.00142 for 1 mg of DHA/DPA --- Vegan/algae sourced omega 3s$0.00029 for 1 mg of EPA/DHA/DPA --- Carlson's Fish Oil liquid$0.00022 for 1 mg of EPA/DHA/DPA --- High quality brand of Fish Oil softgelsI am personally shooting for about 2 grams of EPA per day and about 2 grams of DHA per day. That is probably going to require some combination of the above. I have decided, though, that Carlson's Fish Oil liquid is going to be the base of my omega 3 protocol.

Carlson's orange fish oil is absolutely my favorite available on the market. I believe the liquid form is easier to digestion and better absorption. The orange flavor is very good, no fishy taste at all and no fishy burping after you have consumed it. It helps on so many levels. I definitely recommend this to anyone who takes fish oil daily.

Taste is great! No fishy taste . Good for the body.One teaspoon twice a day . Good stuff. Price ok!

great product and pleasant tasting

Taste is mild compared to other oils I’ve consumed. Little to no smell and easy on the stomach/digestion. It’s only been a couple of days, but I’ve enjoyed it so far.

Love Carlson fish oil. Clean clear in taste & purity. My guy didn't care for lemon but I love it. It was a small bottle though so I understand this is a high value item but dang its a small bottle

This cod liver oil does not have a "fishy" taste at all but has a light lemony flavor. Also, no indigestion noticed. I also like the source of the fish & trust the quality.

Took this morning, was kind of worried about taste. But I took straight from the spoon and it was light, lemon very good and had no issues at all! Will try to to update later on results! Thanks a great product so far. Hope it helps husband with his cholesterol and triglycerides!
